week. At a depth of 260 feet vein
of water was struck that filed the cas-
ing and poured in continual stream
from the top. A board was placed in
such way as to skim the surface of
the water as it rushed down the slope
from the derrick. and on this, it is re-
ported, small globules Of oil collected,
showing the presence below of the
much desired petroleum.
FROM THE AU SABLE MONITOR.
When first lighted the gas at the
end of the Pinch pipe yielded fame
20 feet long and some five feet ip d.
ameter. The roar produced by the
burning of the gas could be heard
some four miles distant and was mis-
taken for thunder, while at night
person could read newspaper half
mile away, notwithstanding that the
gas was burning just above the ground.
When the pipes we're carried to the
top of the derrick and the gas set fire
the light could be seen for miles
around. The prospectors, Messrs.
Dalton & Martin, of Petrolia, Ont,
informed the writer, who made visit
to Kilmaster to look the thing over.
that the force of the escaping gas
would run TO full capacity 60-horse
power engine without the use of steam,
that the flow of gas from that one
we'll was sufficient to light a city of
6 1000 or 1000 inhabitants, and was
equal to the flow of all the Port HUI
ron wells combined, about which so
much account has been made. When
a 1-inch pipe was attached to the well
and the flow confined to that one pipe
The force was so great that when the
gas was set on fire the blaze was
driven 20 feet away from the end of
The pipe and would remain burning
here in mid-air in monstrous fame.
When the gas was confined to the
we'll for space of three minutes and
hen allowed to escape through 2
nch pipe and set on fire, a flame AZ
eet long and 20 feet in diameter
would burn for many minutes before
{ would become reduced to its normal
ize, 6x20 feet. Another experiment
was made by attaching six inch pipes
in addition to the Pinch pipe and all
set on fire at the same time. No per-
,eptable diminution occur red in the
a rye flames, while the inch pipes each |
furnished a blaze 3x6 feet in size.
When John Kilmaster applied a
match to the mouth of the 5-inch pipe |
when the gas was flowing naturally.
ust to see if it was loaded, you know,
a flame at once sprung up 100 feet
nto the air carrying with it Johns
,at and depositing it on a scaffold in
he derrick 40 feet above his head.

master to view the burning well and
pronounced it truly wonderful.
Becoming tired of experimenting
With gas, the main object of the pros
,ecting being to strike oil, work was
'esumed Monday at drilling and the
,ipe driven down to shut off the flow
# gas so that work could be resumed
without interruption. Monday night
'ock was reached at a depth Of 263
eet. When work was resumed Tues
lay morning it was discovered that
| small flow of oil was coming to the
surface with the flow of water. The
,rospectors were of the opinion that
Is soon as the pipe could be driven to
he rock that a considerable flow of
Ill would be the result. the theory be-
ng that the flow of water was so
trong that the oil could not escape.

The demand for some reduction OF
the tariff is irresistible and rapidly
growing. The accumulation of the
surplus forces the matter upon all

of making whisky and tobacco free
while maintaining the taxes on all ar

That there has been steady i'm
provement since the summer of 1885,
until now both capital and labor are
we'll employed and there is an actual
business boom in nearly all branches
of trade and industry, everybody
knows. We do not say that it has
been induced by Democratic control.
But it certainly has not been hindered
by that fact. There is no fright left

managers.-New York World.

JUDGE WIN. A. WOODS,

William A. Woods received his commits.
sion as Judge of the U. s. District Court of
Indiana May 2, 1888, and has, therefore,
played Judge of the Court something over
five years. His salary is So. 500 year. II
might be well to ask Judge Woods If he
knows that be is regarded as an intense,
incorporating Republican partisan2
Does JudgeWoods know that he is esteemed
and almost universally referred to as Re-
publican judge? Does Judge Woods know
that Republican managers, OF high and
low degree, no matter what the case may
be, If the interests OF the Republicans are
involved, these Republican pimps and
puppies regard everything secure for the
welfare of the Republican party If William
A. Woods, alias Judge Woods, of the U. S.
District Court, whether as Judge or other
wise, has anything to do with the case?
Does Judge Woods know that large ele-
ment of his feIlow-citizens believe him to
be so detormed and so degraded by his
partisanism as to render him totally inca
pable of dealing justly by Democrat who
might be 30 unfortunate as to be brought
within his jurisdiction as a magistrate2
Does Judge Woods know that, while Re-
publicans eulogize him for has malignant
partisanism on the bench, when dealing
with the rights of Democrats, that another
element in the community regards him
with loathing and inefIable detestation for
what Republican partisans esteem great
aud redeeming virtues? Does Judge
Woods know that there are thousands of
his iellow.citizens who have no more re-
spect for him as judge than they would
have for Steve Dorsey, or any other peni-
Tertiary deserving Republican as Judge?
Does Judge Woods know that thousands
of his fellow-citizens believe him totally,
absolutely disqualified by his malignant
partissnism, from doing justice to DEM
ocrat on trial in his court? Does Judge
Woods know that thousands of his fellow
citizens believe he ought to be impeached
and dismissed in disgrace? Does he know
that thousands of his fellow-citizens have
no more respect for his court, when he is
on the bench, than they would have for a
Hottentot chief, directing the orgies of his
tribe when worshipping a reptilian god?
Possibly Judge Woods believes himself to
be a non-partisan judge who earns his
$500 q year, and that his errnine robes
are not as spotted as leopard's skin-and
possibly, If Judge Woods gets another
whsck at indicted Democrats, he will show
them that his former charge to the jury,
as plea for conviction, will no more CON-
pare with charge No. than the sickening
smell OF jimson weed blossom compares
with Chinese stinkpot.

TIL INDIANA STATE SENTINEL WEDNESDAY AUGUST "a 1881

the whole thing may be reduced to calcu-
lation, and the earthquakes, which are the
external manifestation of the internal
phenomena, beiforetold with the exactitude
of an eclipse"
1t may be conceded, we think, that the
moon theory of earthquakes Is about as
fanciful as the sun-spot theory, and that
they are valuable only as showing that
the scientific world is hard at work upon
the problem, and determined, il possible,
to solve the mystery. Admitting that the
centre of the earth is a mass of molten
matter, it does not require much science
to force the conclusion that the heat must
occasionally find vent, and that If resist
arce is offered, disturbances along the
crust of the earth, more or less severe,
must occur. 1t is said that these disturb
ances affect the earth's crust to a depth
ranging from one to fifty miles below the
surface. The prediction that the world
is finally to be destroyed by fire is not an
irrational conclusion, since should it at
any time occur, that the vent holes, from
any cause become Theoretically sealed,
there would be fire force enough concealed
in its bowels, which put in motion by
sun spots or the moons attraction, or the
attraction of sun and moon both, pulling
at the same time and in the same direc-
ton, or by some other existing cause,
would be sufficiently powerful to reduce
the earth to fragments and send them
whirling through space. Some people
have thought they had premonitious of
coming earthquakes by peculiar stomach
sensations. and Others look to their cats
and dogs for warnings. But, as the earth
is gradually cooling down, and has so far
been equal to all emergencies, 1t is not
wise TO lose sleep on account of earthquake
predictions.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1887-08-24

1t is stated that at a recent reception
given in honor of Mrs. Cleveland more than
five thousand people paid their respects to
the White. House lady. "One of the callers"
says the report, twas baby and Mrs.
Cleveland bent forward and kissed the
little one." This incident attracted special
attention, and was thought to be of suffi-
Gent Impotence to be wired over the land.
1t will occur to a good many people that
the first 'lady of the land" in kissing the
baby performed an exceedingly common
place act and if she had gone SO far as to
take the little package of mortality and
immortality in her arms and remarked,
''of such is the kingdom of heaven" she
would have followed an example worthy of
imitation, and the occurrence simply for its
novelty might have been wired with pro-
priety. But simply kissing baby is scare
ely worthy of electric mention,
